No purists on here that I know of....its not like Bimotas themselves are anyhow....models varied from one to another depending what they had lying around or what the customer wanted....and then theres the "use engines from whomsoever will supply us" thesis....I still like that German reimagining KB1 with a KH750 triple 2-stroke engine in it.......

Hi,
I am the guy building this bike. I am not as talented as you may think, I had the frame built by a genius craftsman from Holland, based on my drawings and dimensions.
I have built several project bikes before, all of them are twostrokes. The Bimota clone is gonna be my ultimate bike dream come true, both in form and function. I am trying to stay with classic period correct components whereever possible, the only ( almost invisible) exceptions are a LiFePo battery ( hidden inside an empty lead acid battery housing) and a very small digital instrument in the upper triple clamp to complement the huge analog tacho with Bimota face.
I was thinking a while which engine to use - a CB750 or the GT750 which I already lying around. I decided for the latter for cost reasons and exclusivity.
If interested, I can keep you posted about the prpgress; just finished the wiring harness on the weekend

We/re always interested in such projects.....and ultimately if they get finished...that we all hope for with our own projects....post away or scream if you need help in uploading pictures...we all love pictures...

Oye!! Paul.....get back in that garage you internet monkey....at the rate you're going there wont be any of your bikes coming to the show...

Lovely pics by the way of your HB1/Kettle hybrid...some lovely period genuine Bimota parts, brake lever, footpeg...and a lovely turned twisted rear brake master push rod....busy making stuff for our show at the moment...will study and comment further later....

Loving the detail on that bike....you certainly are going to town with all the bells and whistles...I just hope that its not so "perfect" that when you finish it you are too scared to ride it in case it gets dirty...

Oh...Can I have the Lancia Beta Monte Carlo in the background....love those cars....The red one behind the stinky old german Merc.....

That's a really nice build - looking forward to the rest of it.
You can see how the Bimota headstock is different to the standard and yet a simple solution_________________Don't read everything you believe
